A Fine Thanks to Poland

Last week the Obama administration announced that they would not deploy the missile defense shield for Poland that we had promised last August. Not only did they go back on America’s word–a signed agreement, actually–but they did it to appease Russian premier Vladimir Putin.

And they announced it on the day in September 1939 when Russia joined Nazi Germany in invading Poland and partitioned it, for the fourth time in history. Iran responded today by launching two medium-range missiles (the shield was designed as a shield against rogue nations like them).

A fine thank-you for Poland’s help in Iran, where they have deployed a small but highly professional force.

A fine thank-you to Poland’s Solidarity movement, which was instrumental in regaining freedom for Poland all all of Eastern Europe.
